    I used to be like that, hypothyroidism is a removed.

    Since being on the meds I now have the energy to do two separate things in a single day.

        I don’t know why the word was removed, wasn’t that bad 😆

        I was just constantly tired and stressed, eventually the stress was causing heart palpitations so went to the doctor and they did a blood test.

        Before the meds it was like being an old phone with a dying battery. Only ever charged up to 60% no matter how much sleep, and ran out of power in a few hours.

          Are you me? Because that sounds just like me. I can’t make it through the day without an afternoon nap and have heart palpitations at night. All this started after a bout of covid in early 2021 right before vaccines were available.

            Hmm, I’d say it got worse after I caught Covid, but I wouldn’t say that was the cause.

            I’ve never had good energy levels, but it felt like it had been specifically downhill over 5 or so years, and then completely fell off the cliff for a year.

          lemmy.ml has a pretty strict filter on any word that could be considered a slur regardless of context.

          What did the blood test check for? I wonder if a general blood test would catch that.

            I think it was a general blood test, they weren’t looking for hypothyroidism specifically.
